    I would love to see more of this mindset - bring something new and unique in to the world, instead of mass produced, least price per unit mentality, like how car colors are trendin…

    We got a 17Kwh array this year (US) and a few powerwalls and it is one of my favorite purchases. I can run nearly any amount of GPUs for free, and never worry about power outages o…

    Good call out - but seeing 2.5W consumption at idle from people with it already on Linux so these numbers will hold (like Dell XPS 14)

    This is great - a Macbook Pro for Linux users, made of CNC milled aluminum, haptic trackpad, and 20+ hours of 4k video playback under Linux

    This is because the "thinking" you see is a summary by a highly quantized model - not the actual model, to mask these tokens

    This is awesome! Does it work on most G14's or are there specific years / models?

    AWS actually has two libraries they use instead: s2n and aws-lc https://github.com/aws/s2n-tls https://github.com/aws/aws-lc

    The complaints about Apple are from decades of excellent design and about a pixel being off or other small items that people with well trained eyes spot. The problems with Windows …

    Yes they have an Nvidia image and I just used it on a 5080 last weekend, worked perfect

    Created https://www.spreadcheer.net - a Christmas list app that can store locally, isn't full of ads, no login required and should be pretty fast

    FWIW I bought the M4 max with 128GB and it is useful for local LLMs for OCR, I don't find it as useful for coding (ala Codex / Claude Code) with local LLMs. I find that even with G…

    Thank you! Planetscale has been great so far especially the console where it shows the query insights and the p95 / p99 views. I have been able to make features without worrying ab…

    Show HN: SpreadCheer Christmas Gift Registry

    There are a lot of registries out there but they are pretty legacy - SpreadCheer is modern React, can store lists inside your browser, and is fast / responsive, fun. Runs on Vercel…

    Missing from this announcement is language around Privacy. Cursor for example has a Privacy Mode that promises not to store code, and this seems like a critical feature for any AI …

    Hey Lee - I tried setting up a self hosted POC today and it looks pretty tricky: * The shared cache loader is left to the user to implement (instead of say, just pass a Redis URL) …

    Ironically when you are not paying attention, it is the least safe to disengage FSD. Ideally all drivers not paying attention would have FSD safety features auto engage to stop the…

    Autopilot is a standard Tesla feature which is different than full self driving or FSD.

    I just drove the Tesla Model Y around where this past weekend it was -10F. Range was probably 15% lower overall (lots of heating / heated seats etc) and we were cautious to make su…

    It looks like these models won't be as useful for LLM inference which are heavily memory bandwidth constrained. The Macbook Pro page shows M3 at 100GB/s,150GB/s, and 300GB/s vs M2 …

    Not OP but I think it isn't always about storing, but having a log of events which get routed, processed, and aggregated in many cases.

    I grew up North of Ohio and it was common to joke about driving down to Ohio as being more rural / farm stereotypes. Later I moved to Ohio and found out it was a great state with a…
